Hi, Jesse and Don,
What is strking in this tale is that it provokes questions about the true origin of man. It alludes to Darwin's theory of evolution versus that of the Church on creationism. A topic of enduring interest. Anecdotes like this have been in circulation already before this Barako version, and hints at the scientific against the religious approaches to the story of the first romantic encounter in the world--Adam and Eve.
